On a typically wet and windy December evening our chair LG used the theme of
Advent and Christmas,  entertaining us with some amusing fill-in material.

Introductions were to the question: ‘What would your ideal Advent calendar contain?’

A big welcome to our guest DS accompanied by EH. We hope she enjoyed the evening and we look forward to seeing her again.

For our inspiration, SR read a self penned poem called ‘The New Coat’

Ah Counter – CAW, Timer – JR
Wordmaster – LG with the word ‘jolly’

The prepared speeches were as follows:
Speaker 1 – JR with ‘Power to the People’ evaluated by SR
Speaker 2 – DM with ‘The Cruise’ evaluated by CLW

Our Two Minute Topics master SR asked members to pluck topics from
the trilby including:

The Brussel Sprout – friend or foe?
High Street or online shopping?
Would you wear a Christmas jumper?
Board games or bracing walk?
Christmas music in public places?
Christmas tree – real or artificial?

Two Minute Topics evaluation – CAW

Awards presentation – CLW

There was no Best Speech award as there were
only two speeches

Best Topic – DS
Best Evaluator  –  SR – Speaker 1 evaluation

General Evaluator – TH
